My Farmer's Market Photo Diary

Some shots from last week's Farmer's Market...

After being out of town the past two weeks we had not made it to the market yet this year. An early morning rain shower had the troops concerned the conditions wouldn't be favorable for an appearance on week 3. The rain cleared and we made the trek around 9am to make sure we didn't miss out on anything.

Here's half of our travel group for this past Saturday morning. Paxton is eyeballing some of the vendors looking for a great deal (we let him do some negotiating).  Presley is more worried about getting a cookie from her mother (she has the eye for the good stuff). Needless to say they're fans of the market.

After a quick stop at the Colony's tent to see what they had in stock - I wasn't feeling the beets, lettuce, chickens or fresh noodles (hitsorically fantastic) on this trip - we make our way to a baker from Tripp. We took home a fresh loaf of Garlic Cheese bread (it's the fourth from the right on the bottom) to accompany spaghetti and for panini's this week. Great bread - not enough garlic to make a good garlic bread on it's own, but a nice 'hint' of garlic on the panini bread. I would like this bread if it was on Facebook.

Here's a look at the rest of the vendors on the east side. You have the canning lady before the baked goods lady, some veggies, raspberry jelly after that, and two more baked goods options.

Speaking of baked goods, here's the motherload - a mix of kuchen, pies and fantastic coffee cake. No lie, my mouth waters as I typed the message.

In addition to the veggies and goodies on hand, a church youth group was there cooking up breakfast. Pax was angling to get his hands on a breakfast burrito, but we opted to walk down to Cornerstone for a cup of coffee and a roll for the babes.  All in all a great way to spend an hour in Mitchell on a Saturday morning.

I noticed that I missed photos for the animal rescue tent, Billy's BBQ Sauces and Rubs as well as teh other vendors on the west side. My bad guys, I'll try to do better this week.

UPDATE: I forgot to add that Mitchell Main Street & Beyond is hosting their Third Thursday promotion downtown tomorrow and a special weekday Farmer's Market will be a part of the event. Enjoy!
